Economy, Morality, Gender, and Ethnic Stereotyping Essay

Disney's Pinocchio has been a long time favorite of American culture. However, time has changed and so has our culture. We are no longer described or categorized by being white, European, primarily heterosexual, Protestant, and bourgeois. I have to argue that that stereotype is still in effect. As times have changed so have our people and their values. Now, we are described as "The Melting Pot" of religions, race, sex, and class. Pinocchio was fitting for the culture of 1940 but as for now it not so appropriate. Industrialism, Capitalism, and the ruling bourgeoisie are the themes in this movie not only because they probably reflect Walt's own life but…show more content…

I feel that the depiction of Gepetto is not all that bad. His morality is very high; he is caring, a hard worker, and a very loving man. He is brave (He lived in Monstero the whale!), truthful, and unselfish. He fed his cat basically the same thing he ate, and let’s be honest he did not have that much food to give. Yet, with all these attributes he is worthless because he has no money. He cannot help his “son” in any truly helpful way. He does not have the means to do so. Love means does not mean anything if one cannot put food on the table. Once again, the subject of economy is raised. How does one measure morality and economic level? They are two different entities and yet if one does not have the other they are not whole. On the other hand, Stromboli hasn’t got a moral bone in his body. Yet still, he has more money than Gepetto and has power to take Gepetto’s son. Also, the character “Honest John” acts as if he is rich, smart, and moral; hence, the name “Honest John”. The fox is portrayed as a liar and a criminal. These portrayals of the poor are very low. The depictions of the rich are equally as low. So, what is a person to believe? We must conclude that these stereotypes are preposterous.

The end to the Great Depression came about in 1941 with America's entry into WWII. American's lives, by 1946, were in shambles. Pinocchio is a great product of this turmoil.

behavior is not a new trend, but rather an ongoing lifestyle for today’s society. Gender stereotyping, a sub-category of stereotypes, opens many revelations, developments, and behaviors. While there are psychologists that differ in opinion, education and employment seems to be the primary sources where it is believed that most people both obtains and acts out their stereotypical behavior (Sax & Harper 671).
The origins of gender differences are particularly hard to trace, but arguments that the differences…

Gender stereotyping in sports media is something we see everyday in magazines and on TV. Since sports were invented, males have dominated one of Canada’s largest pastimes. Reasons for this being physicality and strength, but as time progressed women began to become more involved in the culture of sport. Today there is almost an equal amount of women participating in sports as man, yet women are still not being represented with the same approach as men. About a month ago I found a video online…

Many times it will be considered shameful and embarrassing for a man to cry, or participate in an activity seen as “feminine”. Media and entertainment always have an impact on everyone, and it may not always be a positive impact.…

stereotyped interests for each gender (Faust N. Pag.). Advertisements and marketing are not the only influences in perpetuating gender stereotypes. There are numerous influences on the youth of America that aid in the stereotyping of personalities and interests for boys and girls.
Today, most would call these actions conforming to the gender binary. The gender binary is a socially constructed system of traits that are specifically predetermined for each gender. Socially constructed simply…

Gender stereotyping begins in a person’s life as early as infancy. Babies first encounter stereotyping when nurses put pink or blue wristbands around their hands: pink for girls and blue for boys. The stereotype continues throughout their childhood and life. Babies are normally dressed in their ‘gender-specific’ colour to reduce confusion about their sex and are expected to play with toys that are appropriate according to their gender. One of the most noticeable areas which cause stereotyping is…

Introduction
To begin with, it might be necessary to define the terms of Gender inequality and ethnic inequality in employment. While gender disadvantage refers to the prejudicial treatment of an individual or group based solely on issues of gender (Robert, 2008); ethnic inequality indicates the unfair distribution of opportunities and resources between the majority white and ‘black and minority ethnic groups’ in the labour market. The two issues have been rooted in the job market for long, and…
